My mind searches over and over of all of the things you have done to me and
I am sure I cannot go on.

My eyes want to burst out in tears and sob for days.

My heart lies blackened and shattered before me.

I am now a hollow shell of a once beautiful, hopeful person.

I love you so much but I hate you for making me want to die.

The Cloud

Parag Agarwal

It got carved out,

from the element of life,

Defining neo infinitum,

Shapeless boundaries,

Drifting with the winds of fortune,

Expressing and challenging,

others with bigotry,

Contemporarily spreading,

Over the desirous thirsty bed,

heavy with eagerness,

Untimely emptying,

Its mere existence.

The rain it falls like my tears

I sit and wait till it disappears

I sit and think of the day

That life will start to go my way

No one knows me, and no one cares

They don't try, they don't dare

Sleepless nights, and biter dreams

Maybe its the way i look

Maybe its the things i took

Maybe life is jest this way

But still i sit till this day

This day will be the one

The one thats judges all I've done

Worth Unseen

CMM :O}

Beaten before birth, worth unseen, this child of angry marriage. You'll have
no fine carriage.

Parents will fight while you sit and cry. They demand ownership. A piece of
you like a pie.

You'll grow in isolation while others around you fit in. Youíll suffer
without any buffer.

They will tell you that you can't win. Youíll feel like you are tied up in
a pen.

This child of anger many will turn away. Youíll pray with everlasting hope
for your acceptance day.

Youíll reach for love only to be cast down. Youíll be told not to frown.

The surety of others will come into your view only they donít have a clue
of you.

Youíll feel empty and blue. One day, others will talk to you and the next
day they wonít even be bothered with the thought of you. This canít be
true!

Others will say they care for you while you wait and wonder why. Why aren't
they there to share your joy and to ease your burden, cry of despair. You
child of anger in need of repair. No one has time to care. Youíre damaged
goods. Canít you see? You are as worthless as a flea. Who will love this
beautiful soul caught in between hope, failure , and success? Where is this
childís rest? Can anyone pass this so called test? Donít all souls
deserve all that life has to offer in their hope chest?

She walked in the door for one last goodbye,

He stood there silently and let out a sigh,

She lifted her head to take a peek,

And saw a tear running down his cheek.

She lifted her hand to remove his ring,

It felt like losing the hardest thing,

All shiny and composed of a blue stone,

O how brightly it reflected and shone.

He stared at her with such dismay,

Everything around them seemed to turn gray,

All time has ceased to exist,

Clutching the ring he lowered his fist.

He looked into her eyes and all he sees,

Are numerous amounts of happy memories,

Her tearing eyes began to fill,

Her whole body passed with a chill.

His breathing kept a heavy pace,

You could tell by the look on his face,

He was so confused and without a clue,

When she leaves what he will do.

Both their eyes are locked in tight,

Neither of them looking out of sight,

Closer then ever yet farther it seems,

What they had was merely a dream.

He leans over closely and shows no fear,

To whisper his love in her ear,

One last kiss never more,

Two seconds later out the door.

He stands there alone shrouded in mystery,

Taking himself in and accounting history,

Trying to forget all his fears,

All that is left is his tears.

HEART OF STONE

David Vorheis

I hate the way you gave me hope,

just to find I've run out of rope.

I hate the way I held you near,

and let you go without a tear.

I love the way you looked at me,

it always seemed to set me free.

I hate the way you never thought,

of how my life and soul were wrought,

with love for you; or how I feel,

you thought my heart was made of stone,

but in the end we're all alone.

I cant believe how one person can feign,

feelings of love which only chain,

the other to the feelings,

of love and loneliness which all start staling,

when they see their loved ones kiss,

a friend and wonder how they missed,

the signs of long love failing,

and when the feelings arenít returned the mind starts flailing.

And in the end we're all alone,

you found my heart wasn't made of stone,

but flesh and blood, which in a flood,

is washed away, but the feelings stay.

I know they're selfish these feelings of mine,

But in the end you'll be fine.

In your smile I saw a fang,

but if I'm the victim then I will sway,

on the breeze or in the wind,

I hope you know this is the end.

In the end we're all alone,

I've found your heart is made of stone.

The window opened the door slammed shut.

I feel a sharp pain in my gut.

The ghost is about in my mind there is no doubt.

I saw his face and I ran to anther place.

Breathing so hard I was scared to death.

Before I knew it I was out of breath.

The ghost never knew why I was there.

It was his place first he was my only fear.

He was Grey I didn't know what to say.

I just wish he would go away.

The ghost didn't leave.

Because he was looking for his long lost love Eve.

She die one hundred years ago from a broken heart.

I told him this then he left with tears rolling down his face.

The ghost never came back because they were at peace.

NO TITLE

by: nelson

you know that I'm one that never dwells on the past

but I just canít move on from this

how can you be so selfish

to try and take something away that I love so much

I just canít get over it

how can that make every thing right

leaving me to live without you

your life means so much to me

so why would you try to take it

'Another day, another trial - another lesson learnt'

Ellie

Another day, another trial - another lesson learnt.

Tell us another! It seamed they have been listening to Him,

But they have never heard... A word... He said.

He raised from the dead. After Howe bled

For those who're misled.

He tries to warn me: - Mind your eye! But I'm too blind to see.

His Divinity forgives my humanity - He'd been suffered instead of me.

Jesus loves all of us... equally.. with the matchless love He's got.

You can feel it even when your eyes are blurred or tightly shot.

The pain has eased n any longer I'm drowning in my own tears.

He wiped them all away and selflessly... fought against my fears.

He will always be there 4 me whenever I need a friend.

I know that I'll never get lost... because... He leads me by the hand.

My soul has to be awake. And I have to choose the Right!

The one and the same thing I'm told... every day and e-very night.

The irrepressible voice inside... says: " - May I have a word in your
ear.

Don't let the world to take your Spirit 4-a-ride. Watch yourself, my
dear!"

Simple, but crucial mission I happened to have in this life.

My cross is not heavy to bear. His... is beyond compare...

I'm so grateful that with His help I become my deep-rooted weaknesses-slayer,

I become a changed girl from the... very first time I knelt down in prayer.

So many days, so many trials - so many lessons learnt.

I have so many blessings. I have the things I earned.

I've something else to say: Once more I've been taught today -

That you'll hardly come to play

Again with fire, if once your wings were burnt.

... Another day, another trial - another lesson learnt...

White Wings - A Haiku

Wings beat forgiveness

White cranes grow a thousand strong

Paper creased, folded

-0- Just A Fantasy
Maire Parks

As the clouds in the ski passes by like a
snake in the grass so silent and nice
an young man stands and watch it
as it flows by like a very big white
fluffy pillow made of different shapes
,sizes an animals . He him self thinks
about the zoo where tigers roar ,
elephants blow, bunnies hop , and roosters crow
.Then he wakes up and realizes that it was only a fantasy
where he had feel asleep in the park under a shade tree
surrounded by
clouds.

The Morning
by Shaynae Walton

AS I awake in the morning I dive for the door reaching for a towel .
What could it be soap came along ?
As I stepped into the shallow water,I begin to relax and think about my day .
Will it be okay are will it just flow away until the next day ?

But who can say not me not you but we all now who the next morning
is surely due.

Paws, claws, purrs,

when wet outside he never stirs,

but twitches, stretches, sighs

furry, whiskered, yellow eyed.

"Utopia"
derek

The setting of the sun every day

Bring sadness with it

Only your Beauty easing the pain

Each night

In darkness I wonder

Bring feelings of with drawl

Once forgotten in time past

Only in memories I remember

Then as you reach the highest peak

All the pain goes away and is

Replaced with

Your light

The light that gets me through the day

The light that got me through the night

The light that guides me to you forever more love

Now if this light only lasted for eternity!

FALLEN STAR

TLS

There was a time U shined so bright.

The only star that graced my skies.

But I watched U dim and lose your hold,

and U fell before my eyes.

I never dreamed it was possible,

4 U 2 fall so far.

But I watched in horror as death embraced,

my wounded fallen star.

The only hero I ever knew,

who I thought was immune 2 harm,

was finally wounded and overcome,

and died within my arms.

And now I'm left without a light,

2 guide me through the dark.

But still I find the will 2 live,

'cause U shine within my heart.

WISHES

By A.Z.Siraj

Wishes are just wishes

For some people are not insane

They make some aspirations

To let the world know they are not inane

They may want to climb a mountain or

Cross a hurdle

They might just hug an afflicted child

standing in the middle

Wishes are just wishes

They are not made to be broken

They might be kept in the back yard

But are never forgotten

Wishes are just wishes

And

I wish to fly away

One day...

...Far away.

Take me away to a place of happiness,

A place with no tears,fears,deaths,sadness,anger,cheating or anguish.

Take me away to a place where i can be me, and have no fears about what
others think.

Take me away to a place of smiles,laughs, joy and love.

Take me to a place far, far from here, a place where i won't have to shed
not one more tear.

A place where people go to forget about life...A place where we can be
together forever, and do what we want....a place where I.... can be myself.
